I had the excitement of getting to see quite a few bumblebees in my garden today, which to say the least needs some work doing to it! I was going to start de-weeding but seeing all the cute little bumblebees getting pollen from the weeds I was about to pull I decided it was best to leave them there till I can replace them with some bee friendly flowers.

Bumblebee Facts -

Bumblebees have smelly feet - This is to let other bumblebees know they have already taken the pollen from the plant so there will be little left.
Bumblebees never swarm.
They only produce a small amount of honey - just enough to feed their young ones.
Bumblebees don't usually sting unless they feel threatened.
Bumblebees do not lose their stinger after use.
Pesticides pose a serious threat to the existence of bumblebees.

Bumblebee Friendly Flowers - Planting just one or two of these will help bumblebees greatly.

I have finally had some time to make some polymer clay charms yay! I feel like I was going a bit stir crazy with not making anything in so long but I have been so busy with moving, As well as making jewellery I also love charity shopping, Which I was super happy to find that Newcastle has a ton of them! So here is some pictures of my latest polymer clay makes and my new purchases from charity shops.

Its been so long since I did my last blog post but I have been in the process of a big move from one side of the UK to the other! But I am all settled in now so will start posting on my Blog more regularly again :)

I thought I would start with a post of some lovely video game inspired jewellery I have found on Etsy.
